AI's carbon footprint problem

#artificialintelligence

For all the advances enabled by artificial intelligence, from speech recognition to self-driving cars, AI systems consume a lot of power and can generate high volumes of climate-changing carbon emissions. A study last year found that training an off-the-shelf AI language-processing system produced 1,400 pounds of emissions -- about the amount produced by flying one person roundtrip between New York and San Francisco. The full suite of experiments needed to build and train that AI language system from scratch can generate even more: up to 78,000 pounds, depending on the source of power. But there are ways to make machine learning cleaner and greener, a movement that has been called "Green AI." Some algorithms are less power-hungry than others, for example, and many training sessions can be moved to remote locations that get most of their power from renewable sources.

Deployment of Machine Learning Models

#artificialintelligence

Learn how to put your machine learning models into production. Deployment of machine learning models, or simply, putting models into production, means making your models available to your other business systems. By deploying models, other systems can send data to them and get their predictions, which are in turn populated back into the company systems. Through machine learning model deployment, you and your business can begin to take full advantage of the model you built. When we think about data science, we think about how to build machine learning models, we think about which algorithm will be more predictive, how to engineer our features and which variables to use to make the models more accurate.



Debiasing Evaluations That are Biased by Evaluations

arXiv.org Machine Learning

It is common to aggregate information and evaluate items by collecting ratings on these items from people. In this work, we focus on the bias introduced by people's observable outcome or experience from the entity under evaluation, and we call it the "outcome-induced bias". Let describe this notion of bias with the help of two common applications - teaching evaluation and peer review. Many universities use student ratings for teaching evaluation. However, numerous studies have shown that student ratings are affected by the grading policy of the instructor [16, 26, 5]. For instance, as noted in [26, Chapter 4]: "...the effects of grades on teacher-course evaluations are both substantively and statistically important, and suggest that instructors can often double their odds of receiving high evaluations from students simply by awarding A's rather than B's or C's." As a consequence, the association between student ratings and teaching effectiveness can become negative [5], and student ratings serve as a poor predictor on the follow-on course achievement of the students [8, 6]: "...teachers who are associated with better subsequent performance receive worst evaluations from their students."

University of Helsinki launches Ethics of AI online course

#artificialintelligence

Finland has released a free online artificial intelligence (AI) course which aims to educate public administration, businesses and the general public about the technology and to consider what it should be used for. The Ethics of AI course offered by the University of Helsinki has been designed in a partnership with the cities of Helsinki, Amsterdam and London as well as Finland's Ministry of Finance. Questions pertaining to the ethics of AI are topical, as many people are already making ethical choices in their work, for example, on data use. The course sets out to help them understand what the ethical use of artificial intelligence means and what it requires from both society and individuals. "These questions include how our data is used, who is responsible for decisions made by computers and whether, say, facial recognition systems are used in a way that acknowledges human rights. In a broader sense, it's also about how we wish to utilise advancing technical solutions," said Anna-Mari Rusanen, course coordinator for Ethics of AI.
